Question

A number increased by 10 is 114

Answer 1

Explanation:

So we want to know which number increased by 10 gives us 114. So we can do this by following this rule where we have two numbers a+b that give us the result, the number c. If we say a is the number we are looking for and b=10 and c=114 then we have: a+10=114. To find the number a we need to put b=10 on the other side and that will change its sign: a=114-10 so we can get a=104 and that is the number we are looking for.

Answer 2

So X + 10 = 114
Isolate x by subtracting 10 from both sides
X = 104
Your number that is increased by 10 to get 114 is 104
